It’s another lovely but grey day. One day to go. ETA 14:00 UTC tomorrow, Wednesday. We’ll be happy to have a rest...did I say rest. Main engine and the small generator to service. Have to remove the salt water from the combustion chambers of the bigger Onan generator as it has created a hydrostatic block...in other words you can’t compress water so it won’t turn over. Refuel at least 4,500 litres of diesel fuel, buy 80 litres of engine oil, do the shopping for the next two weeks, remove the foresail and send it to the sailmaker for repairs, and get rid of some of the rust. The easy life of yacht crews...but it’s a lot better than working down the mine on King Island. Where is King Island??? The winner gets 1 kg of Scheelite...maybe King Island blue cheese would be more appreciated.
